Hi Tim,

I'd first see if you can build an image with a stock configuration before 
you introduce any changes. I'd create a yum repo containing the rpm on the 
building box, next introduce that yum repo into olpc-os-builder with an 
entry in the [repos] section of the .ini file. ie:

custom_repo_1=1,xo1-fw,file:///</full/path/to/repo/>


After your changes run OOB and check the output/packages.txt to see which 
version was installed.

Jerry

I went part way down the road of trying to bundle q2f19 into 21021o0.img, 
but stopped because I hoped the approach you tried would work.

http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Updating_the_XO#Firmware says the os image 
includes firmware. so I installed olpc-os-builder and had a look at 
olpc-os-12.1.0-xo1.ini, but I don’t see how to rebuild with the later 
firmware.
